Now in it's sixth year, V3K Ultra crosses all the mountains over 3,000ft in Wales, also known as Welsh 3,000s or 15 (formerly 14) Peaks, it's a classic route loved by anybody with any sense of adventure and a love of mountain running. It is unique as we don't simply require competitors to be experienced fell runners we also require runners to eat a plant based diet for race day.

Please ensure that you complete the question "race experience", you must be able to show that you have completed at least two races in the last 24 months with at least 50m climb per km and at least 30km long with an element of technical terrain. If you cannot show this but feel you do have adequate experience please email before entry.

If you have completed V3K in previous years then you automatically qualify, please give the year(s) that you raced
